Abbey Normal

Growing up gay in the 90's in rural Colorado, Eric didn't feel like he fit in any "box". He didn't have much hope that things would get better. So, he took his own struggles and tried to make it better for other people. This is his story of regrets, being unapologetically you, and living with joy. 

 

Be safe, be wise, be home, Eric Chase (Ash) Goodman-Worthington

Love in the time of COVID is a complicated thing. This story chronicles one couples journey from the hot beginning, through physical and emotional roadblocks, to their final decision. One they did not take lightly.

Finding your fellow "weirdos" is a journey, and can be life-changing if you're able to do it. Art school drop out, Chelsea, shares how she manages some of her mental health diagnoses, what she loved about her social work career, and how she chooses to use her superpowers.

Abbey and Annie catch up on life- weird dreams, being a "Squatcher", listening to podcasts (duh), and wondering whether Nick (Handmaids Tale) is hot or not!

We have some common language around relationship breakups, but it's difficult to talk about friend breakups in the same way. They hurt just as much (maybe even more), leaving us angry and confused. Is it because female friendships are especially intense, or are our expectations of friends too high?

Friend breakups stories, and trying to understand other perspectives, even if ultimately we don't agree.

Abbey and Annie are back in the Plounge after a year of social distancing! We got the Fauci ouchie so we can sit together on the couchie.

We talk vaccines, masks, and the anxiety of moving into post-pandemic life.

Handmaids Tale is coming back!!

This is how we felt about the show in 2019 . . . but 2021 is different times and our souls are weary.

"Can I live a life without a romantic partner and be happy and fulfilled?" 

Abbey's sister Holly asks the question so we dive into the social pressures to partner, the pros and cons, and what kind of partner she would even want. Annie shares her dream of a partner on the Taller Side of Lumberjack (T.S.O.L).

Abbey's parents- married 45 years- join in to share their young love story.

Kiley lost half her body weight. She hasn't changed, but the way people look at her and treat her certainly has.

Linda is used to being the only girl. On the mat, on the track, at the corporate office.
